You're absolutely right. While this _Might_ work on a 5k,1k,2k... with pump
monted in the fuel tank, it won't work on the 4kq, because the pump is
located outside of the fuel cell in front of the left rear wheel. BTW, I
can't imagine this method working on the other cars either, because the fuel
pump is isolated by means of a plastic cage, isolating it from undo
shock/vibration.
